>>12015465I must confess upfront: I am not exceptionally well-read. I am much like many people here. Started browsing 4chan in my early teenage years, back in 2004... always been a "do it yourself" kind of guy, I don't take my car to the mechanic, I learn to fix it; I wasn't happy with my housing situation, so I designed in my head a custom truck house and built it without putting anything to paper; never like going to the hospital, even preferring to perform superficial surgery on myself; likewise, no one could give me a satisfactory answer for the real questions, so I thought about them. This is the extent of my credentials. Whether that makes my posts more or less valid is up to you.
Autobiography of a Yogi has been recommended to me recently.
>>12015467I have come to believe that the purpose of life is to grow one's consciousness, and that growth comes not with knowledge but with learning. Left unsaid from that above is that I refer not only to learning in knowledge. This is also learning in another medium. This is learning in feeling and truth and love.
